One of the great things about Twitter -- aside of its obvious time-waste benefits -- is the window it gives into the lives of your favorite stars, via pictures, videos, 140 characters of revealing rambling.

Sometimes they're funny, random, revealing -- but in general, celeb Twitters have a decent entertainment factor regardless. All that said, we've collected some recent tweeted pics from Nashville-related music-makers. We digitally stalk so you don't have to. Click below.

His propulsive rock trio, Elle Macho, keeps the creative juices flowing with their "unofficial" video clip for their tune "Bombs," which you can find on the band's debut EP, ¡Es Potencial!

In the clip, Mead, bassist Butterfly Boucher and drummer Lindsay Jamieson don their finest country gear and pose individually for the camera on Lower Broadway before the three of them saunter into Tootsie's. It's strangely hypnotic.

Later this month, the band embarks on three-date pseudo-tour of New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Both McCarley and Boucher released new albums this year. McCarley's Love, Save the Empty is up for "pop/rock album of the year" at tonight's Nashville Music Awards, while Boucher and her Scary Fragile album have gotten notice from CNN, Paste and Channel One.

Heavy Cream will play this year's CMJ Music Marathon in New York City.

In less than two months, 1,200 musical acts will descend on New York City to take part in the CMJ Music Marathon - a five day music and film festival that takes place in over 75 venues in the NYC area.

While CMJ has yet to release a full lineup of confirmed acts, music booking megasite Sonicbids has shared an initial list of Nashville acts that have been booked for the fest through their site.

Nashville, of course, is teeming with musical talent, but as you might have heard, they don’t all play country.

On the occasion of the launch of new, local talent-championing outdoor music series Live on the Green (it kicks off Thurs., Sept. 3 with Ten Out of Tenn, American Bang and the Toadies -- read about it here), we're nodding at 10 twang-free local acts who pack serious mass appeal.

The Wallflowers play the Cannery Ballroom on Sun., Aug. 30. Showtime: 8 p.m.; tickets: $20 advance, $22 day of show.

The Wallflowers — the Jakob Dylan-fronted act that brought you such hits as “One Headlight,” “6th Avenue Heartache” and “Three Marlenas” — return to the spotlight after Dylan’s recent solo spell.

They’re supporting a new retrospective release, A Collection: 1996-2005, which includes a bunch of the band’s hits and two unreleased tracks.

Look for Nashville-based drummer Fred Eltringham keeping the beat (and fellow hometown musician Butterfly Boucher opening) when the tour comes to the Cannery Ballroom (1 Cannery Row, 251-3020) on Sun., Aug. 30. The show kicks off at 8 p.m., and tickets are $20 in advance; $22 the day of the show.

Nashville pop voice David Mead releases his new album, Almost & Always, on August 25 via Cheap Lullaby Records, and he's got a string of September tourdates in support, including a hometown stop at the Basement on Sept. 5.

The album is singer-songwriter Mead's fifth full-length, and, his press folks say, is his "most intimate work to date," detailing a collection of major changes in Mead's life, from a move to Brooklyn and back to a break from touring after years of slugging it out in clubs.
